Cis white men: failing up since time immemorial

It’s time. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

‘51st State: a cross border conversation’ is yet another example of journalists sanewashing the threat of fascists invading the sovereign country in which I live. Do better, CBC Cross Country Check Up

I can’t stress this enough #journalism #localnews #bcpoli

Since yesterday I’ve gained ~4K followers. Hello to those of you who are real humans! Here’s a short introduction thread: I’m a public historian from Victoria, BC, Canada. Most recently, I’ve worked as a professor, museum director, researcher, and writer. /1

Yo I don’t wanna get all political but fuck billionaires

A shameful move by the feds. Just as these communities face rising anti-immigrant rhetoric, these cuts affirm racist attitudes. Future decrease in immigration doesn't mean less services needed today. 'It's a Crisis' Cuts Hit Immigrant Settlement Support via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

Alls I’m say is… if a third person in the Trump administration throws a Nazi salute on stage then, yes, there’s a strong likelihood that they are Nazi’s.

Terrifying trend of police overstepping their role, using public money to influence government, and using sketchy data to argue for even more policing. #bcpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This video was just what i needed right now. Listened while driving to town in the snow. Returned with renewed clarity and motivation. @astra.bsky.social @keeanga.bsky.social @chenjerai.bsky.social and @naomiaklein.bsky.social thank you for this. www.youtube.com/live/iyLiNN_... #uspoli #cdnpoli

Fascism has its own media.

Am I the only one watching Severance and thinking that Adam Scott bares a striking relationship to David Eby? #bcpoli

It’s a wonderful day for harm reduction. Many positive engagements with the public today, warms clothes distributed, clean supplies and snacks handed out, and people kept safe. #yyj #bcpoli

Attempted to go the to the provincial museum today — it was free for the holiday — but there was an absolutely massive line up. Did something else. It’s almost like people want their museum to be more accessible than $50 for a family of 3.

What statistically illiterate right-wing ideologue wrote this opinion piece, @timescolonist.bsky.social? Whoever it was, they were too cowardly to put their name on it. #yyj #bcpoli

US already has the highest rate of incarceration in the industrial world, but hell, why stop there? With Elon at the helm we've have penal colonies on the moon.

Hey Guys - Is the City of Victoria thinking about closing their account because they're afraid of property investors who made bad choices and a libelist who lied about Ezra Levant, or are they doing it because Twitter is now singularly owned by a oligarch working against Canada? #yyj #yyjpoli

Satire ain't dead yet, but we're stabbing away at it. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/gov...

I see these stories all the time and it is just fundamentally about people not wanting to see the homelessness. The institutional cruelty is amazing. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Pope Francis offered a paragraph of catechesis to Vice President JD Vance, whose foray into medieval theology was sophomoric. Call it Hillbilly theology.

Maybe don't call it "hillbilly theology," making an already classist term a pejorative.

Does anyone have a particular Catholic biblical commentary or commentaries that they recommend? Or a compilation of the early church fathers and what they said about various scriptures?

Can’t believe this is where we’re at in the discourse, but today we have this piece by a researcher who has studied insurgencies thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Subscribed! I'm looking forward to it! #yyj

So what do you consider a totally normal reasonable response to @davethompsonvic.bsky.social putting forward a motion for the City of Victoria to review what social media platforms it is using? #yyj #yyjpoli #victoriabc I bet it wasn't this..

I'm starting a newsletter. Welcome to Left Coast Dispatch. Here's my first (free) issue, explaining why I'm going the patronage route www.kellyblack.ca/stories/2025... #yyj #BChist #CdnHist

Slowly attempting to untether myself from the worst of the tech oligarchs and it's been a pleasant surprise that whatever you give up in "personalisation" (drawing on your data, history) in a switch from Google, it's worth it to actually get what I'm looking for with Duck Duck Go.

Oh my Jesus, the classism of this city. Like property taxes aren't passed on to renters. #yyj

Live tweet for #yyjbike #bikeyyj #saanich #urbanism meeting on the Quadra-McKenzie project. I will probably tap out at some point because of how depressing this will get. I also need to go to the bathroom.
